Success in developing intelligent vehicle and highway systems(IVHS) collision avoidance systems that are both commercially attractive and effective will depend in large part on how well product designers understand and accommodate human factors considerations in their designs. Help from the human factors community will be sought in this regard and new research will likely be needed to provide designers this information. A review of prior human factors research that may bear on this subject indicates that, in numerous cases, studies were narrowly focused and, as a result, it is sometimes difficult to generalize or extrapolate study findings. This paper suggests that a new set of research tools would be useful to support the identification of design-relevant variables and measures appropriate to the particular issues being studied. Identification of these variables and measures and their validation will help foster the transferability and generalizability of research conducted by different researchers in different research settings. The paper offers a first-cut attempt at identifying those variables and measurement approaches, and briefly describes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) programs designed to provide tools that can be used to collect design relevant data.
